Ruby Rumié (Colombia) is a visual artist whose work explores memory and the body—both individual and collective—as spaces where history, resistance, identity, and death are embodied. Through installations, sculptures, videos, and photographic portraits, she gives shape to that which often remains hidden, opening up a space to view it from a different perspective. Her gaze is directed at the subtle violences of everyday life, those almost invisible forms that slowly erode the social fabric. She is interested in dismantling these fissures and reconfiguring them into a visual language capable of revealing the unnoticed and generating meaning from tension rather than complacency.
For Rumié, art is a territory where memory, play, emotion and curiosity converge; a way of touching what is deeply human. Her work is part of national and international collections, including the Minneapolis
Institute of Art. She has received distinctions such as the Rockefeller Foundation scholarship, the Women Together award (UN) and the Epifanio Garay Medal from UNIBAC.
